John Denver's Last Public Performance

What this is is video of John Denver's last public performance, Oct 5 1997, before being killed exactly a week later. This was in Corpus Christi, TX at the Selena Auditorium. I used to work for a station back then and was one of several allowed in to shoot just the first 2 songs. His people warned us NOT to shoot continuous, only to roll for about 20 seconds, then stop 10. I ignored them and rolled straight. When one of the guys noticed I had done so, they kicked me out halfway into the second song.

The first song is Boy From The Country. Amazon is the second.

Bear in mind that this was shot on just one audio channel (the "nat sound" mic) so it isn't in stereo. It was shot for quick editing purposes so there are a variety of shots to facilitate quick editing (wide, medium, tight).

So, enjoy while you can before some other greedy company pops up to ruin this unique, wonderful piece of history.

One last thing. I DID try to offer this video to John's family back in the early 2000's. I contacted someone through his official site who stopped corresponding with me when I offered them the video. Years later, when this video was originally up on here, a friend of the family contacted me and said John's mother had just died several months prior and she wished she had know about this sooner and shown her before she died. She thanked me for putting up for those who would appreciate it. And that is why I am doing this. Not for $ from ads or clicks or anything. To simply share it with those who love John Denver. Salud!
